I think Indigo is better for a boy. It looks masculine to me, especially when compared to Cora. I like:
Cora and Helena
Indigo and Sonora
Indigo and AminaCora Paloma and Indigo Jacinta
(... I don't like Ripley so I'm not gonna try with that one)Amina Callisto and Indigo Juliet
Cora Feliciana and Helena Virginia
Cora Zinnia and Helena Violet
Indigo Virginia and Sonora Jacinta
Helena Callisto and Cora Feliciana
Cora Juliet & Helena AminaCora Phoenix Juliet & Indigo Leilani Jacinta
Cora Zinnia Winona & Indigo Zephyrine Mariko
Cora Violet Zenaida & Indigo Malia June(I also don't really like Maisie so I ignored it, but it would go with Cora and something softer/cuter than Indigo. Cora Maisie & Sophia Lily or something like that)

Cora Zinnia and Indigo Zephyrine are so so gorgeous together and separately!Love these as well:Cora Feliciana and Helena Virginia - classic beauties
Cora Zinnia and Helena Violet - summery
Indigo Virginia and Sonora Jacinta - bohemian but grounded
Helena Callisto and Cora Feliciana - unexpected and pair well
Cora Juliet and Helena Amina - so romantic!
Indigo Malia June - also has that beautiful summery vibe to meThank you!

I honestly think all of your alternative combos go better together than Cora and Indigo. I love both names, but they are ill-fitting, imo. Maybe making one a first name and one a middle name would make them fit better.Why not something like Cora Amina and Helena Indigo? That way, you can use both names, but the first names go together and the middle names go better together?
And I LOVE Juliet as a middle name for almost anything. It flows as a wonderful middle name for most names. Cora Juliet? Indigo Juliet? Helena Juliet? Amina Juliet? Sonora Juliet? Jacinta Juliet? Maisie Juliet? See what I mean? It only doesn't work well with Violet because they both end in -et. In that same regard, Cora flows as a first name for every name you posted about (except Sonora because they rhyme). Cora Violet? Cora Virginia? Cora Helena? Cora Feliciana (a personal favourite). Cora Inez? Cora Amina?Indigo flows with almost every name listed here as well (except Callisto because same ending sound). Most of them flow either direction as well.
Indigo Jacinta / Jacinta Indigo

Cora Jane Paloma and Indigo Clare MelissaI would avoid Ripley at all costs.Cora and Maisie are the only 2-syllable names on your list, depending on how you pronounce Violet. I'd like Indigo and Viola as fns: maybe Indigo Coralie and Viola Juliet.

We love the combos you suggested. Clare is one of my partners favorite names and he has an aunt Jane. I changed the last name to Magdalena ton honor my grandmother. These are top contenders for us now. Thank you!Cora Jane Paloma and Indigo Clare Magdalena

I like Cora and Indigo together! They are different but still match if you know what I mean. I also like Cora and Violet / Indigo and Zinnia / Cora and Juliet. Cora Paloma isn’t bad but a bit repetitive with the two a’s. Also the r in Cora runs into the r in Ripley. For middle names how about Cora Violet or Indigo Maisie? Some names you might like based on your favourites (for first or middle names)

They are totally different in style and I don’t think they work together at all. Combos I like are: Cora Indigo and Juliet Amina
Cora Indigo and Maisie Jacinta
Cora Indigo and Violet Amina
Cora Indigo and Jacinta Maisie Indigo Cora and Amina Violet
Indigo Cora and Violet Amina
Indigo Cora and Jacinta Maisie
Indigo Cora and Zinnia Juliet

Cora and Indigo are too different in style for me to think they go well together. You could use Indigo and Violet as middle names to link the sisters? Cora Indigo and Maisie Violet? Ripley is particularly jarring and unappealing to me, it seems almost violent. Juliet, Jacinta and Zinnia are lovely. I don’t mind Cora and Inez together.Some other name suggestions:
Ruby
Elsie
Hazel
Nellie / Nell
Stella
Mabel
Lucy
Ada
Mila
Isla
Ivy
Willow
Daisy
Scarlett
Esme
IrisCora Violet and Ada Juliet? (Same middle endings)
Cora Violet and Zinnia Mabel (both have flower names)
Cora Indigo and Inez Violet? (Colour middles)

Cora Indigo and Inez Violet are very appealing but may be a bit too theme-y. I'm torn because they are all very pretty together. Also love:

I think they’re lovely together. Very different but both lovely. For some reason, I find myself wanting to make combos with the same initials, like Cora Callisto and Indigo Inez. Then both have one long and one short name and both share that it’s a name combo with the same initial twice. And yet, they’re two separate, individual names, just like the two kids will want to be seen as individual people and not just as a matching set.

Me too - thank you!Also we love Cora Callisto and Indigo Inez. These two are at the top of our list now.

Cora & Inez for the win!It's a lovely pairing! Inez accentuates Cora's antique charm (diluted a bit by its recent resurgence).Cora & Indigo is totally discordant, in my opinion.

I agree. Cora and Inez seem like a natural pair to me. But I wonder if they go so well together that it is a bit expected. I suppose that is where mns can really elevate them. Thank you :)

Inez, absolutely!:)

Cora and Indigo feel completely different to me. Cora is stately and aristocratic, Indigo was conceived during the free love movement in the 60s and sells crystals. I love Cora paired with Helena, Inez is also nice.

Cora and Indigo don’t really fit together. Inez fits much better.

I think Cora and Indigo is ok.
I think stylistically, Cora and Indy or Indie makes more sense. You may also like Cora and Ivy, Cora and Iris, or Cora and Isla. Cora and Isabel, Cora and Ivory, and Cora & Imogen work too.Cora Paloma & Indy Philippa ... Cora Penelope & Indy Paloma .... Cora Paisley & Indy Paulina .... Cora Paisley & Indy Philippa Cora and Helena work well together.

I do love Indy as a nn for Indigo.
Cora and Imogen are beautiful together but not sure I can get my partner on board.

Wow these are gorgeous! Complimentary without being too matchy.Cora Helena and Inez Callisto is probably my favorite.
Cora Luz and Inez Mara - love! Would probably exchange for two of my faves Cora Lucia and Inez Magdalena
Cora Zenia and Inez Carolina - clever! Cora Zinnia (another fave) and Inez Carolina, also love together.
these two are also just so beautiful:
Cora Marina and Inez Amina
Cora Liliana and Inez FelicianaI love all of these suggestions because many are so close for other faves you've reminded me of that I could easily swap in and they still work and have more personal meaning for me. Thank you!
